Creating Something New

Help me give my students the materials needed to make their creative ideas come to life.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nagel's classroom raised $576

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a creative bunch full of expressive ideas. They have perfect attendance and even stay after school till 4-5pm to work on their ideas. My students are in Fashion Design and are so enthusiastic about creating, sewing, dying fabrics and more.

Our school is a large, high school with over 3000 students in Utica New York.

Our area is known as the Mohawk Valley. We are made up of many nationalities and cultures. The students' uniqueness is quite extraordinary.

My Project

The fabric will be turned into beautiful, creative garments by my fashion students. My hope is that students will be given the tools to continue this work outside the classroom and create at home.

Most of my students want to continue fashion into college.

My goal for them is to give them the confidence and the portfolio to succeed in this goal.

Fabrics and sewing is limited due to the affordability of fabric. This project will help them tremendously. Thank you so much for funding this project. Much Appreciation. Thanks
